Abstract:
Seats belts play a vital role in the safety of passengers. Seat belts are designed to keep the passengers from being thrown from the car. They are also designed to absorb the impact of a crash. Seat belts also stretch slightly so our body doesn't stop abruptly, and they prevent us from colliding with a part of the car or another person. An automatic seat-belt system can go a long way in ensuring usage of seat-belts. Automatic seat belts have been introduced as early as 1975 but there is no such arrangement in the industry at present. Such belts were discarded because of various disadvantages. Also it gets in the way of side curtain air bags. However automatic belt systems also presented several operational disadvantages. Motorists who would normally wear seat belts must still fasten the manual lap belt, thus rendering redundant the automation of the shoulder belt.
